[MPlayer-users] BUGREPORT: MPlayer cache problem playing AVI file via HTTP

[A. Nove]

Hi!

I have a problem playing an AVI file via HTTP.
After filling the cache MPlayer invalidates it and starts reading the file from the beginning.

MPlayer version is Gianluigi Tiesi's build: MPlayer SVN-r32735-4.2.5 (2010-12-28), running on Windows 7.

Here is the ngrep dump of the communication:


1. MPlayer starts cache fill (-cache 40960 -cache-min 50):
